Vacuum biopsy

It's good they are checking thoroughly.  Be prepared that even if they also comeback benign that they recheck you in 6/12 months.  It's great that they are not just saying "oh well off you go" and missing something.  If and I say if, it is not benign they have caught early and it's very treatable.  Went I had my surgery (WLE also called lumpectomy) there was a lady in bed next to me having an area removed which had tested as benign but the doctor didn't like the look of it on scans and thought it better out.  I believe that was the end of her treatment and it was benign but not quite right (I heard through a work colleague as it turned out we worked for same local authority).

Wow what a small world, if it does come back benign I don’t think I would be happy just leaving it, so I may ask for it to be removed at some point, thank you for your kindness this site has definitely helped me through this xx 

I asked for my benign area to be removed too as one area came back benign.  Told no need but they did!  I had peace of mind then.
